This classification follows the ASPCA Toxic and Non-Toxic Plant List. Norway spruce (Picea abies) is not listed on the ASPCA's toxic-plant database and has no recognised toxic principle, so it is treated as non-toxic to cats and dogs. Sharp needles can cause mild mechanical or gastrointestinal irritation if chewed; discourage ingestion and watch for short-lived stomach upset after large amounts.
